Report: Costco plans store in The Woodlands

Costco plans to open a long awaited store in The Woodlands, according to a report by Community Impact Newspaper.

The store will be located at the northeast corner of Interstate 45 and College Park Drive, Community Impact is reporting. Construction is expected to begin in April or May after the site is secured from The Woodlands Development Co., with opening targeted by November.

Officials from Costco could not be reached for comment.

The Issaquah, Wash.-based chain of membership warehouse clubs recently opened its fifth Houston-area store near Katy in February.

Costco’s stores are at 1150 Bunker Hill; 3838 Richmond; 12405 N. Gessner; 17520 Southwest Freeway in the Sugar Land area; and 23645 Katy Freeway at the Grand Parkway in the Katy area.
